A farmer's daughter, Joan seemed destined for an unremarkable life in medieval France, but by the age of 13, she knew her destiny—to drive the English invaders from France. Inspired by divine voices, Joan later led an army to several stunning victories over the English, only to be put on trial as a heretic. Providing an inspiring account for readers 9 to 12, this biography is rounded out with exquisite period art and contemporary color photographs of some of the sites in the story.
